The Superintendent’s Urban Principal Initiative is the cornerstone of Miami-Dade County Public Schools’ work to build a world-class system for urban school leadership development.

Each year, for a minimum of three years, the Superintendent’s Urban Principal Initiative will recruit teams of highly talented individuals serving in the district’s most challenging secondary schools. The Initiative will provide quality, relevant professional development that will deepen participants’ knowledge and expand their skills while inspiring these urban leaders to continue their work in schools with students who have the greatest needs.
